Woah!! Was late checking in this morning and saw another twitter party. Thanks Zinnia for bringing the tweets over. I guess I need to get that Tweetdeck program...is that how you folks keep up with the fast pace? I now need to go back and re-read and think about his tweet answers. I think I need to have a list of questions already written down for the next party so that I can just type as fast as I can w/o having to think on the fly. Are any North American Atopers seriously thinking about flying to Moscow or to Helsinki and train over? Please say NO....cause if any of you plan to go, I'll want to go too (and I'm afraid that would be the tipping point for hubby). Ok, I need to take a breath, calm down, get a grip.....surely some of the usual suspects will go and we will get pics and vids....yes, please! Maybe I should try chilling with some Nutella (never tried it...looks gross, but if Adam says its goood....well, those Pizza Doritos sure were good...) Nutella is thousands of people's guilty pleasure. Used to be harder to get, so it felt like more of a treat. That's how I used to feel about sweet tea when the only place I could get it was in Alabama and North Carolina. A friend of mine from Austria used to bring Nutella back with her, so I guess it may be European, not sure. About Moscow, you are so funny. You need to start setting up an alibi now, like going to Williamsburg, VA to study colonial days, going to help struggling vinters with a new product in Napa, etc. You have to think outside the box. Or you could just cry and say you HAVE TO GO. |

To the person asking if septoplasty could change the sound of a voice, I imagine it could, but not significantly. If someone's septum is significantly deviated, it could partially block or significantly block one nostril, which would change facial resonance. But, as the surgery is only to correct a deviation, not reshape or resculpt the nose or face, the resonance in the sinuses and in the bones of the skull would not be impacted. Don't know when the work was done on Adam, but, his voice sounds to have the same basic resonance since high school graduation. The changes over time I think have much more to do with him mastering and maximizing how to place his tone for the best sound. I read that Freddie Mercury would not have his teeth fixed because he was afraid it might damage his voice.. "Freddie chose not to to get corrective oral surgery to fix his famous overbite (caused by the presence of four extra teeth which pushed his incisors out). He commented early in his career that he wished to have work done on his teeth, but regretted that he didn't have time to do it out of fear that it would damage his voice. Also, chose not to have surgery to remove polyps on his vocal cords for the same reason. Ironically, Freddie was a smoker." Well, if you have a unique or special voice, I can understand not wanting to do anything to mess with it in any way. I think Streisand didn't have a nose job for the same reason. And, it isn't just paranoia. Shit happens. Julie Andrews, who had a beautiful, clear, lilting soprano voice had surgery on her cords, there was some "oops", complication, something, and she lost her voice completely for a while. Has finally, years later, gotten back a speaking voice, and a low, limited singing voice, but will never be able to repair/recreate that beautiful gift she once had. Devastating! |

A friend of mine from Austria used to bring Nutella back with her, so I guess it may be European, not sure. It was invented by an Italian company called Ferrero (whose CEO Pietro Ferrero died in South Africa last week btw). The name comes from the English "nut" and the Italian "ella" diminutive. /History lesson in anything sweet. |

Q102Philly Q102 Philly Ouu, TIGHT RACE! @adamlambert vs @therealjordin VOTE! Ultimate @americanidol Bracket! ow.ly/4GhHU3 hours ago Favorite Seems to me these races are too tight to be valid. Kat McPhee vs Kelly and it's almost tied? Hard to comprehend. A thought about Adam in Europe. It's hard to believe he won't visit/promote/write/record in other countries Finland/Sweden/UK/? while he's there. None of that will do me any good, but I'll light a few candles and "trust" for the rest of you. |

OOOh Adam answered a question on Idol, saying that contestant shouldn't copy any past contestants...is that a hint on JD guy? That was my first thought, too, but the judges used to warn the contestants about singing a song that had a definitive performance by another contestant (Fantasia's "Summertime") or was a signature song of another artist. They were told not to attempt any songs from some singers. I remember Randy told them not to do Stevie Wonder and there were others I can't remember. For me, for you, I don't want anyone dressing like Adam, comparing themselves to Adam, singing any of the songs he sang on AI, changing it up with ballads after rock/pop, wearing a tail and I especially hate rock scream imitations. So, how do you REALLY feel about it? |

Or you could just cry and say you HAVE TO GO. LOL Nutella is the most amazing stuff EVAH!!I didnt know that it was not as popular in the US as it is in Europe, I just found out from you aspen. bamafan its not gross at all, its like melted chocolate. My daughter eats it with a spoon direct from the jar she's addicted to it hahaha especially when she is in full reading mode for the University,it gives you the same happy feeling like chocolate and strength. I put it on top of sweet bread or normal bread and usually that's the way everyone eats it.  We, in Greece especially love Merenda, which is the exact same thing as Nutella just different brand, and I think even better taste |

I remember seeing several tweets accusing Warren of being a troll for mentioning about the Russian concert the other day. WARNWILLIS Warren Willis what is trolling?? I only joined twitter so I could keep the glamnation fans sitting outside informed about the venues, please dont accuse58 seconds ago The problem I have with Warren & @runxandersmith is that they use Adam's name to promote themselves. I love gossip as much as the next person but, I don't think it was any of Warren's business to release the news about the Russian concerts. That is up to RCA & Adam. Now He is playing dumb by not knowing what a troll is... : I bet He was told to shut up about the concerts once the news was out. Lots of people kept asking Him questions and all of a sudden He kept queit about it but He already let the cat out of the bag. |
